Jennifer Lopez was seen having a major neon moment before a talk show appearance in Sao Paulo, Brazil on March 26, posing for photographers before sitting down for her interview. Wearing a neon Michael Kors dress with just-as-bright neon Casadei heels, J.Lo is like the postergirl for the current neon trend here! If you're looking to partake in spring's neon trend, I suggest picking one standout piece and keeping the rest of your look neutral (black or shades of nude), or if you're feeling fashionably adventurous, try pairing several bright pieces together. For several options here on CoutureCandy, try Joe's Jeans' Ankle Pant in Turquoise, Monrow's Narrow Tank in Neon Pink, Mark & James by Badgley Mischka's Dress in Yellow, and Zambos & Siega's Suede Izzy Bag in Magenta. What are your thoughts on the neon trend, and Jennifer's outfit here? Are you a fan of neon? On a more personal note, J.Lo recently spoke out to People about how she is open to having more children. Says Jennifer: "It would be a blessing. Every day... they just bring so much joy and happiness to your life, [and] they just bring you right back down to earth." Jennifer continues to say that she always puts her twins first, adding: "That's my philosophy. So as long as that's working in the right way, then I can dedicate whatever time I need to dedicate to my career. You just do the best you can, and say no when you have to say no. Fortunately, I have a lot of great people in my life who help... at work and at home. I have a great family – so all together – we do it. It takes a village." Very true!

Gwen Stefani was photographed heading into an office building in Los Angeles on May 3, working a black and hot pink look for her day of errands. Starting with a pink biker jacket, Gwen then wore a black tee (like Splendid's Butterfly Sleeve Top in Black, or if you're in the mood for hot pink after seeing these photos of Gwen, try Monrow's Crew Neck Tee in Neon Pink) with zippered leggings (I love Hard Tail's Riding Pant in Black) and a pair of black boots. A delicate silver necklace (similar to Satya Jewelry's Manifest Necklace in Emerald) and funky shades completed GS' ensemble. Are you into this one for Gwen, everyone? In other Gwen news, more info about her children's line for Target has recently come to light. According to Stefani: "When I first started this line, I thought it was going to be for under 5, but Target wanted me to do the bigger girls, which is a really strange age. They're so inspired by things they see, trying to find themselves, expressing themselves, they're influenced by friends, what they see on TV and the Internet. I thought it sounded like a big job but I've gotten into it." Have any of you snagged pieces from Gwen's line for your little ones?

Mary-Kate Olsen was seen leaving a furniture store in NYC on May 4, keeping up with her quirky sense of style as the paparazzi snapped away. For her look, MK paired a black quilted jacket with a patterned scarf (try Distinkt's Nicole Scarf in Geometric), and then slipped into a pair of faded black skinny jeans (like JET by John Eshaya's Faded Skinny in Black, or for a waxy option, try Earnest Sewn's Audrey Skinny in Coated Black) and a pair of pink lace-up flats. A pair of Ray-Ban New Wayfarers in Black completed Mary-Kate's ensemble. What's your take on this look, everyone - yay or nay? In other Olsen news, MK recently spoke to Elle UK about her clothing line with sister Ashley, and celebrity clothing lines in general. Says MK: "Of course we knew about the trend of celebrities as designers, but we'd done that already when we were much younger. I don't understand the new idea of designers as celebrities either. To me, the Phoebe Philo [Celine designer] kind of modesty is the way to go. We love beautiful things. That's the only driving impulse." Thoughts on MK's point of view?

Lady Gaga was spotted looking quite demure as she left her hotel in Hong Kong on May 2 to head to her "Born This Way Ball" concert, donning a conservative black and white drop waist dress from the Moschino Fall 2012 collection. From there, Gaga wore a circular pair of sunnies, black tights, and a pair of Brian Atwood platforms to complete her look. What are your thoughts on this more refined look from LG, everyone? She's not even wearing her long claw nails! To emulate this look for real life, try a simple black dress with a similar silhouette, such as Bailey 44's Solid Quas Dress in Black. Or, for one with added adornments like Gaga's, check out Nanette Lepore's Triple Time Dress in Black. From there, you can't go wrong with Ray-Ban's New Wayfarer - try them in either Black or Tortoise. As you may have heard, Lady Gaga recently split with her "Vampire Diaries" beau Taylor Kinney. Why, you ask? According to a source, "She will be touring nonstop until next year and has found she can't have relationship at the same time. There's just no room for anything else. Her work is all-consuming." Another source added: "Taylor was all about himself, a typical actor, and didn't completely get Gaga. She loved that she got this guy who everyone thought was hot! But it was never going to last." Sounds about right... it must be super hard for her to have a relationship while she's touring around the world!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was caught by the paparazzi as she left the Coldplay concert at the Hollywood Bowl on May 2, which she attended with stylist and gal pal Cher Coulter. Outfit wise, Rosie paired bright orange jeans (like Level 99's Janice Ultra Skinny in Tangerine) with a simple black tee (try Indah's Simple Top in Black) and a black leather jacket (like Velvet's Harley Jacket in Black). From there, RHW wore her favorite Azzedine Alaia black boots with silver studs and toted a black shoulder bag (like Julie K Handbags' Terri in Black Cobra). As usual, I am obsessed with Rosie's outfit here... do you think she'll ever get it wrong? In other Rosie news, the sultry model has recently announced that she is launching her own line of lingerie for Marks & Spencer! Says Rosie, "M&S is an iconic British brand, adored by many, so I'm very excited to be launching my debut lingerie line with them. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the design team to create my dream collection, and I'm looking forward to a fun and creative time ahead." Kate Bostock, executive director of clothing for the M&S, said: "With all her modelling experience she has great eye for colour and style which, coupled with our extensive knowledge in lingerie design and technique, is a winning formula that we can’t wait to share with our customers." I wonder what Victoria's Secret has to say about this!

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian were photographed on the red carpet of the E! Network 2012 Upfronts that were held at Gotham Hall in NYC on April 30, rocking two distinct looks. Starting with Kourtney, the pregnant reality star opted for a black dress with sheer sleeves and a ruffle hem (for a great flowy black dress, check out Joie's Rathana in Caviar, or for one with similar sheer detailing, check out Nicole Miller's Black Sheath Dress), and then chose standout neon accessories such as a bright yellow necklace and neon pink heels. A woven black clutch completed her look. Moving on to Kim, she wore an Alaia printed dress (Karen ZAMBOS' Frankie Dress in Butterfly is similar) paired with black cutout Jimmy Choo heels and silver Celine cuffs (for a chic silver cuff, take a look at Jessica Elliot's Open Clover Cuff in Sterling Silver). The same woven black clutch as Kourtney - does it seem weird that both girls carried the exact same clutch to you? - finished off her look. Which sister looks best here in your opinion, everyone? I am a big fan of the neon trend for spring, especially when contrasted with black, so Kourtney gets my vote here. Kourtney recently spoke out about how her second pregnancy (she's having a girl this time) has made her claustrophobic, saying: "I have been claustrophobic just recently in my third trimester of my pregnancy. [At LAX earlier this month], I had a small panic attack in customs when they stopped everyone in a tunnel. Looking behind me all I could see was people and in front of me tons of people and I couldn't even tell where the tunnel ended. I had to just run to the front of the line, because I literally couldn't breathe. It's a horrible feeling and I'm hoping that it goes away after my pregnancy. I hate that feeling of being trapped with no control." Have any of you experienced this scary feeling while pregnant, readers?

Snapped leaving dinner at Catch restaurant on April 29 in NYC with her sister Cicely, Zoe Saldana looked stylish in a black and grey ensemble. Starting with a pair of skinny grey denim (like James Jeans' Twiggy in Slate II), Zoe tucked a grey button down top (opt for a fun color with Zoe's similar Sheer Rolled Sleeve Shirt in Teal) into her jeans and then topped her look off with a cozy black coat (Desigual's Abrig Nunei Jacket in Black has on-trend colorful stitching along the bottom). Accessory wise, ZS slipped into a pair of black booties and toted along a black handbag (check out Zambos & Siega's Mansfield in Black). A few bracelets and a pair of geek chic glasses completed her look. What are your thoughts on her NYC street style here, everyone? Is this a look you would rock? In other Zoe news, the Avatar actress recently spoke to Amanda de Cadenet on her new Lifetime show, "The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet," and opened up on her thoughts on having a family. Says Zoe: "I love the anxiety, the pressure of the loud room full of yapping kids... I dig them, I get them. They make perfect sense to me. A child makes perfect sense to me. A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time. I felt the urge to want to have a baby, and I wanted to, but I remember that respecting [then-fiance Keith Britton's] decision – and making the decision to wait with him – was one of the most mature things. I chose to wait and I’m glad I did. I’m glad that I respected him." Interesting!

Lea Michele was photographed at The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ screening of "Glee" that was held in Hollywood on May 1, looking quite lovely in a look that's a bit toned down from her usual red carpet appearances. Clad in a Jenni Kayne white frock (for a similar option, try Gold Hawk's Flutter Sleeve Dress in Blanc de Blanc, or for a sleeveless option, check out Suzabelle's Kinnkora Dress in White) with silver metallic Giambattista Vall Spring 2012 sandals, Lea kept her jewelry and accessories to a minimum for a look that's totally fresh and perfect for spring. Do you think she should have added on a few extra pieces of jewelry, such as Avanessi's Large Stud Earrings in White Gold or Love Heals' Matrix in White, perhaps? Or do you like this look the way it is, simple and chic? Let me know your thoughts, everyone! In other Lea news, it seems that the "Glee" gal has a new celeb lookalike! Lea recently tweeted a photo of herself at this "Glee" event to Kim Kardashian, saying: "Kim Kardashian is it just me or do we kinda look alike in this pic?" Kim then responded, saying: "Twins! If only I was so lucky." Then LM responded: "Haha if only I was so lucky." Do you think that Lea and Kim have a minor case of girl crushes on one another?

Photographed strolling around NYC on April 25, Beyonce seemed to be in a great mood as the paparazzi snapped away. Keeping her look super comfortable and casual, Bey wore an oversized t-shirt (Michael Stars' Cropped Scoop in Camo is similar, and Hard Tail's Handkerchief Top in White is a great option in white) with a pair of tapered sweats (get the look in a luxurious fabric with Jenny Han's Elastic Waist Tapered Pant in Lead), and then added on her favorite pair of Charlotte Olympia leopard kitty flats. From there, Beyonce wore a pair of oversized sunglasses and toted a bright pink bag (for a red option, check out Julie K Handbags' Laura in Red Cobra). A bright blue manicure completed her look. Thoughts, my stylish readers? As I'm sure you heard, many skeptics hold the notion Beyonce was never really pregnant and instead hired a surrogate to have her baby, all due to the time that her pregnant belly seemed to fold in half when she sat down during her interview on "Sunday Night HD." Well, B is finally addressing the rumors that she was pregnant with a pillow for nine months in the new issue of People, saying, "That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy. [I thought] 'Where did they come up with this?' It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid." Hmm... what are your thoughts on this scandalous topic, everyone?

Kate Hudson was the belle of the ball at the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner that was held at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC on April 28, and was accompanied by her mom, the always amazing Goldie Hawn, for the evening. Clad in a floor length purple sequined Jenny Packham dress, Hudson accessorized simply with an Edie Parker clutch and a pair of black patent platforms. To get a look inspired by Kate's here, opt for a purple sequined dress with a shorter hemline, such as Sue Wong's Short Mermaid Sequin Dress in Plum, or for another similar dress that also provides a bold graphic statement, choose Carter's Mad Mod Mini in Purple/Black. From there, choose a pair of earrings to complement the dress, such as Avanessi's Large Stud Earrings in White Gold, or Heather Gardner's longer Foxy Crystal Drop Earring in Silver/Clear. Us Weekly named Kate one of the event's best dressed... do you agree with them, everyone? In other Kate news, Daily Mail recently ran pictures of Kate strolling down the street with her beau Matt Bellamy, and while Kate was seen sipping on an iced coffee, Matt was scarfing down a delicious looking sandwich. This led the outlet to post the headline "Sacrificing sandwiches for her figure! Slimline Kate Hudson sips a virtuous coffee while Matt Bellamy munches a baguette!" The story continues, "As an A-list actress, there are certain sacrifices one is used to making for one's career. And sadly, in order to maintain a slimline figure, stars are occasionally obliged to forgo calorific snacks in favour of more lightweight options." Do you think that they're making a big deal out of nothing? Maybe Kate just wasn't hungry!
